I am back home after a lovely weekend celebrating my daughter’s birthday in New-Jersey. Last night, I did not cook, I had to catch up on some well-deserved sleep. So tonight, my family is looking for a lovely meal. For dinner, I made this braised brisket of beef, perfect for this beautiful Fall Tuesday.
Braised Brisket of Beef
Ingredients
4 lb. first-cut brisket of beef
½ cup flour
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs cider vinegar
2 Tbs brown sugar
One 8 ounces can tomato sauce
2 Tbs tomato ketchup
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 cup boiling water
1 onion
3 carrots
1 bell pepper
2 Tbs Vegetable oil
2 bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Wipe brisket with a paper towel. Dredge meat in the seasoned flour.
Heat the oil in a large roasting pan with a cover. Brown the meat, start fat side down, on both sides to seal in the juices. Spread the minced garlic over the top. Pour vinegar over the meat, letting it drip onto the pan, then add all the remaining ingredients except the onions and the bell pepper.
Bring to a slow boil, basting the meat until the ingredients are blended. Pre-heat the over to 350degre F. cover the pan and place the oven to braise for 2 hours or until almost tender. Continue to baste occasionally, adding a small amount of boiling water as needed.
Towards the end of the braising time, add the onion and bell pepper, cover the pan and return to the oven for about 20 minutes or until the onion and pepper are tender. Adjust the seasonings. Let the meat stand 15 minutes, then slice across the grain.
Nothing brings more joy on a fall night than a warm and hearty dinner.
I finish the night sipping some mint tea while reading a book.
I hope you take time to enjoy all these simple pleasures with your loved ones. Have a blessed night.
I must admit I’m not that great when it comes to cooking. However, this does look quite an easy recipe to follow and it’s something I wouldn’t mind giving a go. Thank you for laying everything out so simply and including photos of different stages in the process.
Thank you, Nicole, I feel like the more I cook, the more I want to try new recipes.
Looks delicious and very welcoming. takes me back to my granny’s cooking. I need to make something for me now too
I know that feeling, Lyosha, nothing can beat my own granny’s cooking.
Very beautiful presentation. I love to do it at home. I will have my wife do it for dinner maybe tomorrow.
Enjoy, Jack!
It looks delicious. And the recipe looks interesting. I would love to try it out.
Try and let me know, Monidipa!
Yes, perfect for fall! Reminds me of my mom’s cooking.
Mom’s cooking, I am all nostalgic; mom’s cooking is always the best, Phil!
I am a huge fan of beef brisket and this is the perfect Autumn dish. It looks so tasty x
It was indeed tasty, Rhian!
There is nothing better than a heartwarming dinner after a long day! This looks delicious!!!
It was so delicious, Akamatra, wish you could taste it.
This looks like a great autumnal recipe for those who eat beef. It looks like proper winter food!
It was the perfect dinner for our Fall night, Elizabeth.
It definitely looks very tender and hearty! Proper winter food for those who eat meat indeed!
Absolutely, Chelf!
This looks delicious and perfect for the fall weather that’s starting to creep into Texas finally! The flavor combination seems powerful, which is just how I like it!
We do like the flavorful food at my house, and this one was perfect, Stephanie.
Yummy! This recipe looks so delicious and perfect for the cold weather. My kids will love this for dinner.
They will enjoy it, mine did!
Yummy!!
Very!
I don’t really know how to cook except for the basic frying thing but I would really love to learn and follow this recipe!
Once you try and add a zest of love in your cooking, you will make the most delicious meal, Janine
That looks so good! It would be a perfect family meal for this time of year…
I agree, Kate!
Looks like you did a great job on this beef brisket. It looks perfectly yummy with the vegetables and I’m sure it was scrumptious. I love beef like this in the fall always.
Same here, Shan!
Not so much of a meat lover but my partner would definitely appreciate it. Never thought of pairing beef with avocado though.
We love avocado and can eat it every day, Catalina!
Now there’s a Caribbean platter filled with yummy deliciousness. Bookmarking this so that I can make this soon!
Hope you like it, Ola!
I’m sure you and your family enjoyed such a wonderful home-cooked meal. I love ending my nights with a hot cup of tea and a book. It’s one of my favorite things!
Same for me, Christa!
Yum! Your braised brisket looks delicious! love the fried plantains and rice on the side!
We do too, Joshua!
This looks lovely 🙂 I will be cooking these types of meals myself now the weather has started to turn.
Fall is the perfect season for me, the nights are lovely here, Latte!
WOW, this looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I actually just made a beef pot roast in my slow cooker a few days ago!
I can tell it was good, Flossie!
Yum yum yum! This looks delicious! And super easy recipe! Eating it with rice and peas, avocado and plantains – I’m sure your family had a hearty meal and good fellowship!
We sure did, Carmen!
I like the sound of reading a book and sipping a mint tea. Sounds delicious. Good to rest up every now and again.
Absolutely!
Perfect dish for Autumn. Sounds delicious.
it was, Amy!
This looks like a hearty and delicious fall meal. Autumn just arrived to Virginia yesterday so I’m ready for ALL. THINGS. FALL! Adding this to the list for sure.
I love Fall, hope you like it, Meg!
Yummm, such a wonderful and comforting meal for a chilly fall night. I love how easy this dish looks to prepare and I think my family would really enjoy it.
It was delicious, hope your family enjoys it, Jessica!
Happy birthday to your daughter! This looks really good and so easy to make!
Thank you, Jazz!
this looks like the perfect comfort food! the use of cider vinegar sounds really interesting and delicious!
It was delicious, Ananda!
You’ve really got to love a great savory brisket! Although as I cannot eat flour, I’d probably substitute that for something else. Nothing beats melt in the mouth, cooked to perfection carrots either. Yum!
Nadalie, I never follow any recipe completely, I always add my touch. You can definitely opt to use the flour.
I’ve not had beef in ages! I’m definitely going to have to have a go at making this as it looks and sounds delicious 🙂

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did, Louise.
